>Minister mocked for video
印部長發(fā)'假視頻'秀高鐵
India's railways minister has been mocked for sharing a video of the country's first locally built fast train - using footage that had been sped up to twice its normal speed. Minister of Railways and Coal Piyush Goyal tweeted "It's a bird...It's a plane...Watch India's first semi-high speed train built under 'Made in India' initiative, Vande Bharat Express zooming past at lightning speed". But the video was doctored, according to an investigation by AltNews, an Indian website that has made a specialty of debunking false news stories and social media rumors. Train enthusiast Jaiswal wrote under Goyal's post that the video appeared to be footage he had taken in December, with its speed doubled. He tweeted a link to his version of the clip. AltNews then put the two videos together so they could be viewed side-by-side. In that, the same train is significantly slower. But the train, Train 18, is indeed India's fastest train to date. It will travel between New Delhi and Varanasi at a maximum speed of 130km/h.
近日，印度鐵道部長皮尤什?戈亞爾因其分享的一段"首列國產(chǎn)快速列車"的視頻遭到嘲諷，他用的這段視頻速度被調(diào)快至正常速度的兩倍。這位鐵道和煤炭部長發(fā)推稱："這是一只鳥……是一架飛機……看，響應(yīng)'印度制造'倡議制造的首列準(zhǔn)高速列車'致敬印度號'以閃電般的速度疾馳而過。"但根據(jù)以揭發(fā)假新聞和社交媒體謠言見長的印度網(wǎng)站AltNews的調(diào)查，這段視頻遭到了篡改?；疖噽酆谜哔Z斯瓦爾在戈亞爾的帖子下留言稱，該視頻貌似是他去年12月拍攝的，只是做了兩倍速處理。賈斯瓦爾將自己拍攝的版本發(fā)到了推特上。此后AltNews將這兩段視頻放到一起，供人們對比觀看。在賈斯瓦爾的視頻中，這輛列車的速度明顯慢了許多。不過"18號火車"確實是當(dāng)今印度最快的列車。該列車將在新德里和瓦拉納西之間以最高時速130公里的速度行駛。

>'Peppa Pig' causes accent
看佩奇美式英語變英音?
Parents in the US are claiming the UK's popular children's TV show "Peppa Pig" has caused their kids to start speaking in a British accent. Dozens of parents have recently shared their concerns on Twitter, with many blaming the TV show for causing a change in the way their children are speaking. Twitter user @Supersly20 wrote: "My 4-year-old baby girl loves watching 'Peppa Pig' and I have noticed her accent and grammar is extraordinary. Last night I tucked her to sleep and she looked at me and said, 'Daddy, can you snuggle me'? I don't remember the last time I used that word". US mother and writer Janet Manley dubbed it the "Peppa effect".
